CNG article

WE saw this a year ago out at the Flying J in Salt lake and other place's out west,
SALT LAKE CITY — The best deal on fuel in the country right now might be here in Utah, where people are waiting in lines to pay the equivalent of 87 cents a gallon. Demand is so strong at rush hour that fuel runs low, and some days people can pump only half a tank, the link can be found here, http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home...riving-Cheaply

I saw it on Yahoo today. Natural Gas I guess is cheap. The problem is finding filling stations. In Salt Lake City & most large cities it isn't a problem, but once out of the city good luck. Here in Nevada Reno & Las Vegas is it. You better get great mileage because it is 500 miles between them. Natural Gas doesn't provide as good of mileage as gas does. That is one of the big problems with alternative fuel is gasoline produces the best power for the least amount which results in better mileage. Until someone redesigns the automotive engine completely gasoline will be a main source of fuel.

Jake. Yes.

They have a garage-mounted unit which sucks off of your home supply and refills your vehicle(s).

It's a coupla grand, I guess....But SUPPOSED to be tax deductible.
